That's largely down to the contest between professionals Keith Arthurton and Ian Harvey - two of the league's most in-form players.
Rawtenstall run machine Arthurton goes back to his old club with successive centuries to his name, nearly 1,000 runs in the bank and an average hovering around the 100 mark.
And Harvey is fresh from a seven-wicket haul last weekend and a century the week before as he looks to put the brakes on the West Indian's run spree.
Rawtenstall skipper Keith Roscoe set the scene as he described the clash as potentially the ``classic encounter of two different continents the flair of the Caribbean and the grit and determination of Australia.''
Roscoe added: ``I would have thought it would be one of the battles of the day, especially with Ramsbottom being Keith's other Lancashire League club.
``One of his very few failures this season was against Ramsbottom so he will be more than determined to do well against them.''
Arthurton's record is particularly impressive in such a wet summer when wickets have not been batsman friendly.
However, Roscoe acknowledges that Rawtenstall have been held back by the lack of a penetrating bowler to bowl sides out. Ramsbottom also have just three wins but Roscoe rates them highly and believes that on a straight overs format they would be a top-four side.
And he recognises the threat posed by Harvey who took 8-32 and blasted a quick-fire 82 not out as Ramsbottom won the return fixture earlier this season. ``You have to watch him all the time, whether he's got bat or ball in his hand. He's a good performer,'' added Roscoe.
There will be two substitute professionals in action tomorrow with East Lancashire fielding young Lancashire strike bowler Paul Ridgeway from Settle in their game at Burnley.
Mike Watkinson is to sub-pro for Accrington while Franlyn Rose steps in for the injured Otis Gibson at Enfield.
Tomorrow's fixtures: Bacup v Haslingden, Burnley v East Lancs, Enfield v Colne, Nelson v Accrington, Ramsbottom v Rawtenstall, Rishton v Lowerhouse, Todmorden v Church.
